Question for Canadian Owners - DRLs

Just curious -- when your daytime running lights are on, are they your headlights or your fog lights?

Neither.

There is a section to the inside of the turn signal that lights up. Its great since it's quite difused and won't be bothersome to oncoming drivers at dusk/dawn.

Its the vertically striped section on the left side of this pic of the headlight assembly. Above the fog light.

No, I'm pretty sure the fog light is the clear lens on the inside bottom section. The low/high are out of the same larger projector on the outer lower side of the housing.

I would immagine all the wiring would be installed at the factory already.

On my old car all you had to do was install a relay in a certain location in the fusebox.

alternately

....even though we have the day time running lights, I run all my vehicles with full lights on all the time..It increases your visibility to others that much more, all around, but especially from the rear. Most driving schools in Canada recommend, overriding running lights and going to full lights.
